Also why the fuck am I obliged to change anyone's mind on social media or anywhere else, I didn't sign up for that particular contract, I'm here to enjoy myself and if you're gonna stomp into my mentions and piss on that, out you fucking go
Kind of weird seeing people who were on twitter still using the "how are you going to change people's minds if you block them?" argument here. If that worked you'd still be on twitter instead of, oh, here.
You don't owe anyone your time on social media. Detach quotes, mute, block, subscribe to block lists, whatever you need to do. The concept of social media as the "town square" is a clear failure, as it was always going to be.

Your new favorite word should be "no."
Get familiar with it.
Start using it in everyday conversation.
Become comfortable using it as a first response.
Be confident and quick in drawing a line.
We are about to need a lot of collective "no" in the next few years.

I was curious about those Gofundme accounts for Gazans and if they actually went to people on the ground or were just fraud and found this. Answer: It's complicated. But this is why I'm more apt to donate to aid organizations vs individuals

As Gaza is bombarded, GoFundMe donations are stuck in limbo
Palestine-related campaigns are mired in extra red tape.

We have a live example of why they're called "pig-butchering" scammers! They're called that because they use the whole pig, ie, they don't just take a little money from their victims, they slaughter them and use them all. I'm gonna be slow on this thread because I'm doing exhaustive alt text, but:

Yes! Alt text is useful and quickly becomes second nature to do. But when one forgets (as I sometimes do), the prompting is a big help.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance.
Remember those who have been killed, injured, abused, tortured for being who they are.
Remember those who have taken their own lives because they could not live in a world where they could not be themselves.
Remember them. And make the world remember them.

Finally got to check “see Aurora in person”from my bucket list. What do you have on your bucket list that you hope to check off soon?

if you want to chat about something sensitive, you can use Bluesky DMs to exchange contact info, but I would recommend moving the conversation to Signal.
Bluesky DMs are private, but they are not (yet) E2EE. Signal is hardened, focused, and does privacy/security best.

Every time a doctor uses “but your future husband may want kids” to deny a person with a uterus the right to a hysterectomy, please understand that that doctor thinks the opinion of some future unknown man is more important than the rights of the person asking for the procedure on their own body.

Does anyone have a website or resource for helping with alt text? I love posting pictures and memes and want to make sure they are accessible. I know how to add alt text but I need assistance with phrasing, depth of description, etc. so the alt text user gets the fullest experience. TIA
